First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at 260 adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) who needed oxygen therapy. Researchers found that about 60% of patients had too much oxygen in their blood (hyperoxemia). Those with high oxygen levels had longer stays in the ICU and hospital, and a much higher chance of dying (82.5% vs. 50.4%). The study suggests carefully adjusting oxygen levels to avoid harm.
